Wes Craig pulls back the curtain on ‘Deadly Class’ #1

I’ve become a bit fixated lately on the art of Wes Craig, known for his work on such titles as Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Adventures of Superman and Guardians of the Galaxy. I admit to being a bit late to the party though, only having discovered him through previews for Deadly Class, the upcoming Image Comics series that teams him with writer Rick Remender and colorist Lee Loughridge, so I’m playing a bit of catch-up.

The artist’s blog is, of course, a great place to go for that, with Craig lately offering a look at the page process for Deadly Class, from rough breakdowns to Loughridge’s colors to Rus Wooten’s letters. You can see Craig’s pencils Page 18 of Deadly Class #1 below, and the rest on his blog. The issue arrives Jan. 22.
